Stop in for a cup of coffee

Worked late with Eddie on the Dart....


Just finished and ordered a pizza for dinner (didn't feel like cooking and it's 40% off at Pizza Pete tonight)....

We got the mini starter in the Dart, but it is tight. There is a connection on the bottom of the starter that has a rubber cover and it's less than 1/4" from the rubber which is covering a positive wire connection - very close to a ground if it ever touches, but both are rigidly mounted and won't move in relation to each other.. But it's so close to a heat source...

Then there are two places the pipes are hitting, one near the gearbox, and another near the column... We may need to "notch" the pipes for clearance there...

Then we ran around looking for a drill bit so we can heli-coil the one bolt for the trans mount that won't hold torque, and ended up ordering it from Grainger to be here tomorrow AM...

So we installed the new SS leaf springs, the replacement came for the pass side today and the grommet is centered like it's supposed to be... Then we were able to measure for the drive shaft length so we can go to the drive line shop and order one tomorrow...

Then we called it a night (8 PM by then)...
